Prompt:
Once upon a time, there lived a queen who loved to read new fairytales but she had read every fairytale ever written! Her people wanted to give her new things to read so they each wrote their own version of old fairytales.

You are going to write your own version of the fairytales we’ve read in class to give to the queen.

Reflection:
I really enjoyed this project! The voice thread and the book are definitely things that I want to incorporate in my classroom. I think the voice thread is not only useful for students to create stories, reports, and other things but also useful as teacher. I could use it as a supplement to instruction for students who are struggling (kind of like Khan Academy). I also would like to learn more about different technologies that I can use different technologies in the classroom. The voice threat is definitely a good way for students to creatively demonstrate their knowledge of a certain topic. Also, the voice thread could be used in all content areas rather than just ELA.
